A natural home for plant-based eaters, the V Life Cafe offers a unique dining experience that combines a rustic bohemian interior with a vegan menu. As you enter past the hand-selected European wildflowers, you are immediately plunged into nature. The comfortable, natural handmade furniture invites customers to relax and enjoy the fresh vegan smells that permeate the air.
The cafe's design features jungle vines with bright natural lights hanging from the ceiling, creating a well-lit ambiance that is perfect for all-day dining, lounging, working, or studying. The open layout of the cafe allows for a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces, providing a refreshing and inviting atmosphere.
With a total area of 280 square meters, the V Life Cafe was meticulously designed by Watsonkoay in collaboration with Goflex Design & Reno Sdn Bhd Interior Designers. The team focused on enhancing the materials used in the cafe, including hand-painted bricks and repainted tables, to create a vintage bohemian aesthetic.
The inspiration for the V Life Cafe came from the desire to create a cooling corner for food lovers in a hot weather country. By blending bohemian interior elements with vintage touches and adding winter elements, the designers were able to achieve a unique and refreshing atmosphere.
One of the main challenges faced during the design process was changing the owner's initial desire for a minimalist concept into the concept of vintage bohemian. However, with careful planning and creative solutions, the team was able to successfully transform the space into a natural oasis.
The V Life Cafe, with its natural and inviting design, has garnered recognition in the industry. It was awarded the Iron A' Design Award in 2021 for its well-designed, practical, and innovative approach. This award recognizes the cafe's ability to meet professional and industrial requirements while providing a fulfilling and positive experience for its customers.
Step into the V Life Cafe and experience a natural home for plant-based eaters, where nature and design come together to create a unique and refreshing dining experience.
